the 'Draw your Character' thread

yeah, ink lines on the crosshatching on the face seems too heavy. I suggest going down 3, 4 px on these lines. Sharper version seems much better. Also, psi-energy balls on hands seem.. a little mis-placed. Shoulder to hip proportion seems awkward, in my opinion.

Also, coloration just doesn't do it for me, for some reason.

Yeah the shading on the face did seem a bit off when doing it, but i cant do male faces very well yet, always get stuck on the hair.

I see what you mean about the psi energy aswell, might of drawn the arms positioning wrong, then again i just placed the psi energy where it seemed right, maybe i should've actualy looked where i was putting them :p

OK, this isn't an NC char, but it is one from my webcomic, though she's not in it yet.

If she seems even more buff than DJ.. then that's because she is...
While DJ may be a cybernetically enhanced merc, she's still human, this girl isn't... well not entirely. The ears, tooth, striped hair and slit pupils kinda give it away.

As with most of my pics, this looked a whole load better on paper, the proportionsare all wrong and the arms are just shit.

I like it DJ^^, its nice also that you have a trademark character for yerself. As for me, I kinda have a hard time drawin the same thing over and over (wish I could do it better, but I see the next drawing as sort of an insult to the previous when I draw) Anywho, I like it.

May I ask though, that you could try drawing something else? Not that we dont like yer Females, I just wanna see somethin "new" :D

PEace out, and PS Im gonna load a 3d face ive been working on this week (thats why therev been no submissions recently)

Been very busy with work lately so I haven't managed to do anything.

Enjoy!

Im confused a little (but very impressed ^_^). Did you write that tutorial? it was very informative. I liked it a lot.

Edit, ok I read the rest of the page (Awsomely excellent stuff^^) I I hope to get to that level of work some day (it seems it will be my proffession possibly as well, I gotta stop surfing and start drawing :D ).

No I didn't write that, just linked to you as i thought you guys might be interested..

Ohhh

err, well the finland and sweeden thingy, and your art seemd to both look to the same quality (pluss your names are oddly similar :lol: ) anywho, thanks for the site, its bookmarked for me now :D

Seriously though, I gotta get off of me board and start hammerin my drawin materials more :D I gotta find some way to impress the world no?

Finally had some time this weekend so i started on another piece.. just got the 'rough sketch' done. Gonna continue tomorrow or later tonight if im up for it..

Tank without PA's this time.. This version will probably change alot until it's ready.

I'll post the complete one here hopefully in the next couple of days

Clive finish the pretty boy piece i love it :P

I have a very very small proposal for it, if you don't mind?

Whats the proposal?

Basically something that bothered me every time i looked at the sketch :)

Otherwise it's damn good but the placement of the other foot was the
thing so i decided to test and tweak around to see what is was..

This is what i mean :)

edit:

character's legs are usually the area where i get stuck from time to time.. only
thing to improve that is by drawing more and more until you don't even have
to think about how to draw a character to a certain position, you just do it..

other problem i often have is flat image.. when certain areas don't seem to
pop out in perspective like they should.

Ahh yeh, I see it, Im really not too good with feet, Humans In general never really were my thing lol, Funny I got into mechs a LONG time ago due to a particular game I played (Cyborg justice! someone PLEASE REMAKE THIS GAME!)

Trademark is kinda putting it mildly, she's more a kind of parralell version of myself, which sounds wierder than it is.
The circumstances she comes about from are a bit.... odd. She's a mix of my own personality traits exagerated tenfold, plus a range of others and skills/abilities that I don't have, which tend to make her a little unhinged/stressed and frank;y, insane. I don't treat her very well either, if she were real I think she might kill me for what I put her through.

Heya Dribbly :P

Try some of these when you're drawing next time! I found them mighty handy a long time ago.
